If it were a fact then how could you have a choice to believe Sherlock? Perhaps there is a basic flaw in your logic there?

So far you have stated time and time again that science cannot test god.Correct. Scientific truth is not divine truth. Scientific truth changes all the time. Science is outside the realm of faith, unless you know of some way of testing for the supernatural, then I guess you should hide away embarrassed with this method you suggest.

However... Mr Plumb is merely deluded if convinced of the correctness of his logic. He isn't convinced despite his own cogitations, but because of them.
Far too many people believe what they are told. They do not test such assumptions at all.
